Living the Church's Song - Propositions for an Ecumenical Theology of Liturgical Music

  This anthology is the result of several years of work by the Liturgical Music Seminar of the North American Academy of Liturgy. A variety of liturgical music scholars and practitioners from various Christian denominations explore twenty-four propositions relating to music and its role in corporate worship. This wide-ranging approach results in a compilation that is both practical and informative, intended for all those who participate in sacred music, as well as for students and teachers in the discipline. Three sections—The Function of Liturgical Music, The Repertoire of Liturgical Music, and The Makers of Liturgical Music—present the diverse topics in an accessible manner. Above all, this book is meant to initiate, sustain, and further dialogue in this field into the future.
